Red Dog Saloon

Fodor's Review:

The frontierish quarters of the Red Dog have housed an infamous Juneau watering hole since 1890. Nearly every conceivable surface in this two-story bar is cluttered with graffiti, business cards, and memorabilia, including a pistol that reputedly belonged to Wyatt Earp, who failed to reclaim the piece after checking it in at the U.S. Marshall's office on June 27, 1900. A little atmospheric sawdust covers the floor as well. Bands pump out dance tunes when cruise ships are docked; the most notable (and bawdy) local performer is a legendary piano man named Phinneus Poon.
